Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited List of Ryder Cup matches, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Gleneagles (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

  Hello, I'm Jetstreamer. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Iberia destinations, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you.

Hi Jetstreamer I did provide a source however made a hash of getting it displayed correctly. If I send you the link could you help advise how best to display the source? Many thanks Ross-shire (talk) 13:57, 3 October 2014 (UTC)Reply

Sure, send it through. Separately, please note that I've reverted your additon of flags at LAN Airlines destinations. The reason is provided at Talk:TAP Portugal destinations in response to the message you left there.--Jetstreamer Talk 14:56, 3 October 2014 (UTC)Reply

Source for Iberia destinations: http://airline-memorabilia.blogspot.co.uk/2013/07/iberia-1989-way-ahead.html This is a pretty good site, with lots of resources. There's also another source for some other terminated destinations which I found, will send over when I can Ross-shire (talk) 15:35, 3 October 2014 (UTC)Reply

British Airways

Please note that planespotters.net is not considered a reliable source. Please discuss at WT:AIRLINE if you think it is. 166.137.10.45 (talk) 14:16, 11 June 2015 (UTC)Reply

Planespotters.net IS a reliable source, it's used my many people in the industry.

http://www.airfleets.net/flottecie/British%20Airways.htm is another and it has the same info.

For some reason the BA website is out of date, they just haven't updated it for some reason. I may email they customer services about this.

There are also lots of news and press articles available, plus the November 2014 IAG capital markets presentation. However these often give dates of retirements as opposed to providing fleet numbers on an ongoing basis, so the two databases I have are much clearer. They also allow readers to have a look at the airline's fleet in more detail.

No, planespotters is NOT a reliable source. This has been discussed and you have been told to take to WR:AIRLINES if you disagree in which you did not. 166.170.57.233 (talk) 15:10, 14 June 2015 (UTC)Reply

An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Golf in Wales, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Narberth, Cardigan and Llangybi (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Euro semi-finals

edit

What? No it hasn't been there for years. It was added two days ago by User:Piotr Bart. Not only that, but the European Championship doesn't have a third-place play-off and hasn't for decades. It was only for two Euros that bronze medals were actually given to the losing semi-finalists, so I don't see how the information is at all useful. The only thing that matters is the finalists. – PeeJay 14:44, 8 July 2021 (UTC)Reply

I’ve been viewing a similar table on that or another page for a long time, probably the List of EC Finals page. Yet I see you’ve removed this too!

The World Cup pages also have similar data too FYI.

I don’t understand why wiki people love to remove such informative details. There’s a similar issue in the golf pages, which I contribute to.

This info adds to the page, as it already lists the semi final info in the Results tab above, so tabulating it makes sense.

If you really aren’t going to agree to allowing this relevant info, then we can set up a page with all the semi final data. That way it’s preserved for others to enjoy…
